A nice and warm atmosphere with great music welcomes you at Dona Juarra. Most of the time the restaurant is full of nice good looking couples and groups of friends. The clientele is international. The food is great since it's based based on the recipes of the owners mexican grandmother, who was an exceptional cook. I particularly enjoyed the chili... More

You can't go wrong - standard Mexican dishes, well prepared and good margaritas. Always makes for a nice evening out in Lugano.

As I wrote in the title, your typical Mexican restaurant in Europe... good atmosphere but the level of food and drinks is just average. The margaritas are so light a toddler could drink them. The staff is decent but not really nice - they don't care because the restaurant is always crowded. Prices are ok for being in Switzerland.
